Tell them to mind their own business and that you're going to report them to a teacher if they don't stop. Follow up on the threat if you have to. Talking about your breasts could be considered sexual harassment and they could get in a lot of trouble for it.

Probably, yes. Talk to your mom and tell her that your bras are too small and that you don't want to wear sports bras anymore. Suggest that she take you to Victoria's Secret, or somewhere else you can get a professional bra fitting.

You can shame them. If you're in a public place and someone makes a rude comment about your breasts, loudly say something like, "I'm underage and you're making sexual comments about my body, that's very inappropriate!" Usually this will attract the attention of other adults, who may come to your defense. Don't worry about whether or not you're overreacting - trust your gut.

Some specialty lingerie stores may have your size (you can call before you visit to check), but you may need to order one online.

If you don't feel up to talking to him, tell a teacher, counselor or other trusted adult that it is making you feel uncomfortable, so that they can have a talk to the boy about stopping it.
